Suffering, struggle and helplessness come from an idea that it won’t get better, no matter how hard we try. Artists are stopped every day by these attitudes. We think that the only solution is to work in a day job that will pay us enough to get by, and hopefully at the end of the day there will be enough time and leftover energy to do something for ourselves, like self care or creativity.

This type of thinking needs to end if you want to improve your life. I'm here to teach you some Positive Psychology tricks from a well known pyschologist Dr. Martin Seligman. He describes life like a garden; we all have weeds and we all have flowers. Let's water and really appreciate the beautiful, positive aspects of each day by journaling three successes rather than constantly focus on all the weeds. They're gonna exist no matter what, but the less energy we focus on them, the easier it is to become an Artist Who Thrives.
